Authorities in North Carolina released police dash cam footage showing two officers fatally shooting an armed woman who initially fired her gun at them last month. The video is a recording of an incident that took place on Interstate 40 on the morning of July 8 near Newton Grove, North Carolina. In the footage, an officer pulls over off the highway where he sees a woman, 50-year-old Tina Renee Medlin, lying face down on the grass in front of a crashed vehicle. Medlin is shot after she pulled her gun and fired on two officers who approached her.

Medlin is seen in the video getting on her feet with one of her hands concealed. Moments later, she flashes her gun and starts shooting

The officers then returned fire and wounded Medlin, striking her twice - once in the head, and once in the right arm. She died at hospital three days later
